After all these ages. A new era! We are on the verge of epic technological advancements. Always there are concurrent personal, social, economic, spiritual, and philosophical advancements, our evolution as a species. As humanity evolves (in the realm of understanding) we gain further insight into ourselves, the universe, and its many components. We gain a deeper understanding of cause and effect, its benefits and detriments, both within and around us. Our sociobiology (our instinct) then evolves and the survival instinct in us is now evolving to encompass life on the planet as a whole. Our spirit always expands into new places of understanding.

As an example: In the far distant past our instincts warned us away from fire; like any other creature. Over time our inability to understand it changed; we learned uses for embers captured after fearful raging fires had passed. We benefited from this understanding and learned to create fire. Our instinct had changed and we entered the “fire era”; a major step in our evolution.

We now rely on fire. Fire protects (warms) us, it powers industy, agriculture, and transportation; it keeps us alive. Even our knowledge of the atom is used to create fire… boil water… create steam… turn turbines… yet we are evolutionarilly shackled to fire.

It is possible to imagine a time when we leave the “fire era” and that which was imagined is beginning to become reality. From the “dilithium crystals”, “gravitic electromagnetic conversion”, and “force” of science fiction to the “solar”, “wind’, and “tidal” energies of today; we can imagine a world of unlimited cheap clean point of use power. Beyond that, with such as zero point energy we are now observing energies greater than the greatest raging forest fires; understanding it and beginning to comprehend our utilization of.

Not so far in the distant future... the next generation will look back on our generation as the last of the "fire era" and know that the term "energy shortage" was a term for un-enlightened minds. All the energy that is, was, or ever will be exists right now constantly changing form... with some of it winking in and out of our plane of existence, creating an effect. -gbgoble
